So after playing Duels of the Planewalkers for a while I decided to get into the game in real life to casually play against others and maybe some FNM. I decided on a Green/Red Deck since those colors were the easiest for me to play and I had the most fun with. I have most of these cards already so I would only need to buy a few, but my question is, is there anything I should add/drop. I prefer the 2012 core set, but anything from Innistrad would work too. I have some defense against certain decks, with cards like Naturalize, Autumn's Veil, and Swiftfoot Boots to protect from control, and Trollhide to protect maybe the elves or Primordial Hydra when it's first put down. Anyways, thanks for any tips.

With so much mana-ramp, you could stand to lose just a couple lands, maybe. Other than that, this seems pretty solid! Some general advice though: the easiest way for people to look at your deck and make suggestions would be if you uploaded it here(to tappedout), and linked to it in your comment. It's super-easy, and would make things a whole lot simpler.

Alrighty, thanks. Anything to add instead of the land then? Creatures? Instants? Artifacts? Link is Forest Fires

Hm, you know, scratch that, I think it plays pretty well as it is. If anything, I think you may be a bit mountain-heavy. You could cut one or two and add some forests. The ideal turn-one play is a Birds of Paradise or Llanowar Elves , so you really wanna have a green source out. Copperline Gorge could replace some mountains if you could find them.
